Thanks! Forecast is looking better for next week. Hopefully we get some decent rains.

Thanks John. We'll need the luck this year. I can't speak for all the crops in southern Indiana - but the ones I see everyday on my 50 mile commute from home to Indianapolis look pretty bad in spots. They must be having good weather somewhere though because I keep reading about record yields....

Hello John, I see your in Iowa. What is your interests in Agriculture? Please drop me a note when convenient. Thanks, MARTIN

Thanks for the welcome John, wish things were green here too. At this time last year we were a week away from sowing oats. This year we have 2 feet of snow on the ground.

My Dad and I farm roughly 1,500 acres of wheat, barley, peas, lentils, kentucky bluegrass, alfalfa, and 15 head of cattle on our 5th generation farm on the Palouse in Washington. My Dad runs the operation right now for the most part but I hope to take it over eventually. Thanks for the comment! Kyle Schultheis

Thanks John! Yes we met on this site! We started leaving commets for each other and one day he decided he was going to fly to NY to meet me in person! I was super nervous and didnt know what to think, but as soon as he walked off the plane, I knew right there, that we were meant to be together! He obviously did to, because after going back to MN after 5 days in NY he gave his two weeks notice and decided to fly me out to MN and we drove back to NY, that was in June of 09, in September he proposed and I said yes! I havnt been on FTTF in a long time but I decided somehow I would like people to know that we met on here! I would like to get back into my old habit of being on here more often, which will probably happen this winter, we usually dont do to much outside with the cows because of the cold weather! Well I thank you again for the Congratulations! It is really good to hear! Thanks again!

thanks john, and no combines are just getting warmed up for the year!

Thanks John...for all you do to make the show what it is...."you da man!"

Geez, was down to the recording studio in Des Moines today to do some audio voiceovers for upcoming episodes of the "Machinery Show". The crew had me in front of a green screen. 1st time ever done that before. Maybe they can make clouds fly over my head like they do with Dave on the opening?? Fun stuff.

Thanks I appreciate it. I got on here to hopefully spread the word about california agriculture mainly the west side of the san jauquin valley. I'm not sure if anybody knows the situation there but it is not good. Congress has basically robbed of us our water to save a 2" minow called the smelt. My family has farmed there since the early 1970's and this is the hardest year i think we have had. I am a 22 yr old attending CSU fresno majoring in crop prod management. I have loved farming all my life and am very passionate about it. I have become even more passionate about it this year with everything that has gone on. Well sorry to ramble on, but I am glad to be hear and look foward to taking with everyone.
